CDDRE is currently conducting research with 60 school districts located in Alabama, Arizona, Indiana, Ohio, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania. These districts were randomly assigned to immediate or delayed treatment groups. Once districts begin receiving services from CDDRE, the districts and their schools receive support in data analysis and achievement planning, selecting research-proven solutions, and monitoring achievement and instructional leadership.
The research questions to be answered include:
Do districts that use the CDDRE (Raising the Bar) model of data analysis significantly improve student achievement?
Do districts that use the CDDRE (Raising the Bar) model of data analysis and implement a research-proven solution significantly improve student achievement?
Preliminary findings will be available in spring 2008, with final results available in winter 2009–2010.
In addition to conducting its own research, CDDRE also provides reviews of solutions that have been proven by evidence. These reviews and the resulting list of research-proven solutions are maintained in CDDRE’s Best Evidence Encyclopedia.
